admittedly, this post may sound like a brag, but I'm really just showing a 'real world' situation to make a proof that sometimes what we 'hear' around the campfire, or from others who 'seem' to know about electricity, or the incorrect assumptions by some that certain things 'aren't possible' and shouldn't even be 'attempted'.
One of the things that seems to really get 'RVrs' going is the subject of 'plugging in'.
When you talk about 'electricity' around the campfire, attitudes quickly come to the forefront, rather than facts.
Yes, there will be many, in the same situation that I am now, who will never endeavor to even 'try' to use a simple outlet to power their RV. There will be others who will, but will demand that 'no one' should even attempt to try to run one of their roof air conditioners while doing so, as though it will somehow 'blow up' something, or 'damage' the a/c unit. And, there will be a few of the others of us who don't always bow down to what seems to be 'common knowledge' and actually prove out that what people 'hear' over and over again isn't always fact.
Some will plug in and immediately trip the breaker. They may not have planned well, though out the subject, and correctly dialed down the appropriate appliances and devices before doing so.
They may also have plugged into a circuit with a weak, or overly sensitive, breaker.
Some will not realize that their battery charger is currently in 'bulk charging' mode, and is what is taking them 'over the limit' for the breaker, even though it would have worked perfectly, otherwise.
Some will have a larger 15kw a/c unit, which draws more start-up power, and this may not apply to them, or it may not be as easy. Every situation can be different.
in the end, it's POSSIBLE, not 'impossible'.
